Developing a Syntax for Conditional Rights Statements Sample Clauses

Developing a Syntax for Conditional Rights Statements. A syntax to express the conditions for access and reuse of a conditional rights statement needs to be developed. ● This syntax needs to be flexible to allow the modeling of various types of access conditions. ● In addition, the rights statement needs to be able to express the conditions under which an authorised user may reuse the Digital Object. Both elements need to be encoded in the conditional rights statement in a way that allows users to clearly understand under which conditions they can access and reuse a Digital Object. And that allows storage providers4 that host these Digital Objects to determine if access should be granted to a particular user. The conditional rights statement is not intended to let a storage provider or the data provider enforce the reuse conditions (they are not intended to be used as DRM/TPM).
